A number of clips made the rounds on social media in the past few days showing a commotion taking place during a match between Vittoriosa Stars and Swieqi United FC.
The footage shows a person jumping over the supporter’s guard rails from the pitch as a crowd of people on the pitch, including players, rush towards the direction of the person.
A statement was issued by Vittoriosa Stars with the referee’s official report of the match.
The team also ensured that they were in no way condemning the opposite club (Swieqi United FC), highlighting the good and reciprocal relationship.
The referee report explains how at around the 57th minute, a supporter of Swieqi crossed over to the substitute benches of VIttoriosa Stars.
The supporter reportedly attempted to jump over the stand, prompting a player to calm the supporter down. The latter proceeded to throw a trash can towards the VIttoriosa bench, with the commotion escalating.
The situation escalated, with the reported individual eventually jumping over the spectator fence and exiting the ground. The match was abandoned.
